Days before news broke of its Jay-Z co-brand Monogram, Caliva put out a press release announcing the creation of a career training and mentorship program that prioritizes inmates released from the California state prison system into pandemic and employment crises.
Los Angeles Times/Caliva Press Release
- The reigning hip-hop entrepreneur’s Monogram site has a music module and a module that says “Monogram marks a new chapter in cannabis defined by dignity, care and consistency. It is a collective effort to bring you the best, and a humble pursuit to discover what the best truly means.” Welp, it’s just pot being sold.
- As part of the San Jose company’s social impact initiative, Caliva is also partnering with nonprofits Chrysalis and Success Centers to hire newly trained ex-offenders in the Los Angeles and Bay areas.
